The Man Behind the Mask: The Story of a Lone Texas Ranger

By Deedee Reynolds

The world was in turmoil in the early 1900s. In the first decade, the world plunged into a war that pitted the mechanized world against the quixotic age of Tom Sawyer. Although an armistice was signed in 1918, influences of the war would be felt into the next century. In 1933 a radio show made its debut on a little known radio stationWXYZ in Detroit. Little did producers know that the main character would soon gallop into the lives of thousands of children around the world. The Lone Ranger was a savior of sorts for people hoping to find someone to defend them against the growing tide of war emanating again from Europe. Most of us have at least heard of the Lone Ranger, but did not come to know the man behind the mask. This is the story of onethe most famous radio Lone Ranger.

Deedee Reynolds

Deedee Reynolds was born in a rural southeastern community in Illinois. He has had a varied career that includes the ministry, an award-winning journalist, and he managed an office for a US congressman for seven years. He has also been active in community theater, playing Capt. Von Trapp in his all-time favorite, The Sound of Music. Appearing on the stage of Wabash Valley College in Mt. Carmel, he also played Mordred (Camelot), Judas (Godspell), and Scrooge (Scrooge). Lest someone thinks he was the victim of "type-casting", he also played Jesus, a priest, plus a variety of harmless characters. During his tenure as a congressional aide, he developed an appreciation of the good that can done in assisting citizens and cutting through the red tape that sometimes strangles the system. The Man Behind the Mask is Reynolds third book, not counting Faces and Places in Wabash County, a photo album written in cooperation with the Daily Republican Register. He has also written two other books -- Double Take and Text Messages for Divorced People.
